Hi All, I need your help with macOS Sierra and iCloud Drive.<br />
<br />
I have about 100GB of data in my iCloud drive, I would like to keep these files in iCloud Drive and manually add files to iCloud when required. However, my iCloud Drive data is being downloaded to my Macbook pro machine and taking 100GB of my local drive.<br />
<br />
How can I make the required changes to Sierra so my iCloud Drive data is not stored on my machine andmanually add files to iCloud when required.<br />
<br />
Thanks.

Mac OS X

Apple's early computers ran on a variety of operating systems, including a Pascal version and one based on CP/M, before releasing its ProDOS with the advent of its 16-bit computer. With the release of the Lisa, which had its own OS, Apple and computing entered the graphical age; it was followed by the Macintosh, which offered a series of "System" operating systems. Other Mac operating systems included PowerPC until Apple acquired NeXT and folded it into the Mac OS. Current operating systems for Apple devices are Mac OS-X and iOS.
